2019 Graduation Survey Report Bachelor’s Level Graduates

The Graduation Survey is administered by the University Career Center & The President’s Promise (the Center). The survey captures career-related outcomes of bachelor’s degree level graduates, as well as data on participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities during the graduate’s tenure at the University of Maryland, College Park. This year’s report captures outcomes of bachelor’s level graduates within the 2018-2019 academic year including August 2018, December 2018 and May 2019 graduations.

Methodology The 2019 Graduation Survey followed the same process and incorporated the same survey items as the 2014-2018 surveys, which were based on standards established by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).

Survey data collection was conducted electronically through an instrument created in Qualtrics. In addition to responses on the survey, data were also collected via other channels including social media profiles (primarily LinkedIn), information from college/department staff, reports from employers and data from the National Student Clearinghouse.

Survey Pool Initial survey invitations were sent prior to each graduation to a list of students who had applied for graduation in that semester (list obtained from the University of Maryland Data Warehouse). The Office of the Registrar completed degree clearances and conferred degrees approximately one month after graduation, at which point the survey pool was limited to only those students that had in fact earned a degree in the 2018-2019 academic year.

Time Frame Based on the NACE standards, data collection was conducted within a window following each graduation and ending six months after the last graduation in the cycle (May 2019), rolled out in three phases:

PHASE ONE Initial emails were sent to students intending to graduate approximately three weeks before commencement. Graduates continued to receive weekly reminders until a few weeks after graduation. After that point, additional reminders were sent on a bi-weekly basis.

PHASE TWO At the three-month post-graduation mark, requests to complete the survey were again emailed to graduates that had not yet responded. Students that responded in PHASE ONE and reported an unplaced status were resurveyed and asked to update their outcome.

PHASE THREE Toward the end of the survey window (mid-November through December) the Center shared with colleges/departments lists of their graduates that had not yet completed the survey or had reported an unplaced status. Colleges/departments were asked to supply any additional student outcome

1 information of which they had knowledge (e.g., a department administrative assistant that received a personal email from a graduate related to a recently landed job).

NOTE: This year the window of data collection and verification was extended through mid-February due to staff turnover and a subsequent gap in the normal process.

Additional outcome data were sourced from searches on LinkedIn and other social media sites, conducted either by the colleges/departments or by Center staff. The Center also obtained information about enrollment in graduate-level programs from the National Student Clearinghouse via assistance from the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment. Data received from channels other than the survey were coded to identify the source and help insure that information was legitimate and verifiable.

Definitions While graduates could report one of nine statuses, for the purpose of this report outcomes are generally divided into the following categories:

PLACED includes employment (either full or part-time), continuing education (of any type – graduate school, second bachelor’s degree, certificate programs, etc.), starting a business/organization, participating in a service or volunteer program (such as the Peace Corps) or military service.

UNPLACED includes graduates that reported actively seeking employment as well as graduates that reported an intention to pursue a graduate degree, but had not yet been accepted or admitted.

UNRESOLVED includes students that responded to the survey during PHASE ONE only and reported an UNPLACED status, but for whom no additional information could be collected in subsequent phases— neither through eventual response to the survey, lookups on social media sites, reports from employers, information from schools/colleges, nor the National Student Clearinghouse. In other words, the only information available around graduation time was the intent of the student to commence a job search or graduate school application process, but not about the conclusion; hence the term, “unresolved.”

NOT SEEKING includes students that reported they were not seeking employment or continuing education. These students were omitted from the calculation of placement rates.

Graduates not responding to the survey and for whom no additional data through any other means could be obtained were labeled “NON-RESPONDERS” and were not included in calculations.

Other Clarifications Some assumptions were inherent in interpreting data collected from sources other than the official Graduation Survey instrument.

EMPLOYMENT For outcome data collected from social media sites, graduate profiles indicating post-graduate employment were considered to be employed full-time unless information about part-time status was explicitly provided or available.

COLLEGE AND DEPARTMENT SURVEYS The Center received data from some colleges/departments that conducted internal surveys containing career outcome questions. Of note, in some cases these surveys were conducted significantly prior to the Graduation Survey data collection timeframe initiated at graduation. When appropriate, data were integrated into the official reporting database during PHASE THREE data collection efforts. However, responders to pre-graduation college/department surveys that reported an unplaced status were still classified as non-responders unless they also responded to the official Graduation Survey.

VOLUNTEER/SERVICE Students that reported a status of EMPLOYED but indicated their employer as Teach For America, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, City Year or one of many well-known volunteer/service programs were re- coded in the VOLUNTEER/SERVICE category for purposes of this report.

EMPLOYMENT VS. CONTINUING EDUCATION Some PHASE THREE data collection efforts overlapped each other. There were instances where report of a graduate’s employment was obtained from one source, but simultaneously a report of continuing education was obtained from the National Student Clearinghouse. Reports regarding employment were given precedence over continuing education information received from the Clearinghouse, with the assumption that the graduate would be attending the continuing education program part-time.

CLEARINGHOUSE VS. OTHER REPORTS In the cases where report of a graduate pursuing continuing education was obtained from both the National Student Clearinghouse and another source, but details about that enrollment were in conflict (program, school, etc.), the Clearinghouse data were considered the most accurate.

SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES When conducting research on graduates via social media sites, staff were instructed to identify how recently the profile appeared to have been updated.

. Students were recorded as UNPLACED if their profile summary or headline referenced their recent graduation and that they were actively seeking employment. . For EMPLOYMENT, any work-related position reported in the profile with a start date after the individual’s graduation date was considered post-graduate employment. . If a position listed on the profile indicated a start date prior to graduation but contained clear evidence that the profile had been updated since graduation, the position was recorded as post- graduate employment. If there was no evidence that the profile had been updated, the employment was not recorded. . Staff were asked to record URLs of student profiles for later review and verification.

Tabulations Each graduate was counted only once in the University-wide report section. Graduates with double majors and/or double degrees were counted in their respective college reports; however, if the second degree occurred within the same college, the graduate was only counted once in the college-specific report. Graduates that participated in the Honors College or College Park Scholars programs were included in those reports in addition to being included in specific college report(s) as appropriate. In 3 addition, although Letters & Sciences students ultimately select majors and are counted in the various college reports, a separate report was generated to include graduates who at any point in their University of Maryland tenure were Letters & Sciences students.

In some cases percentages do not sum to 100%. For questions where graduates could “check all that apply,” denominators are based on total number of graduates completing that question, not on total number of checks reported for all categories in that question. A student checking three (3) response categories would count only once toward the denominator, not three times. For other questions, the difference between the sum and 100% should be small (+/- 1%) and is attributable to rounding error. All rounding was done on final calculations/results. Most values in the report were calculated via Excel and full decimal places were retained in intermediate steps.
